What does lagoma mean in English?

"Lagom" is a Swedish word that doesn't have a direct English equivalent. However, it conveys a concept that is often described as:

* Just the right amount: Not too much, not too little, but the perfect balance.

* Moderation: Avoiding extremes and striving for a comfortable middle ground.

* Sustainability: Living within your means and respecting the environment.

* Simplicity: Finding contentment in what is enough, rather than constantly seeking more.

While there isn't a single perfect English word for "lagom," phrases like "just right," "in moderation," "a happy medium," or "enough is enough" can capture some of its essence.
